Meet the couple that bought an entire town

MEET Queensland's newest property 'moguls' - the Harley Davidson-riding grandparents who bought Allies Creek, a deserted town that went viral when it hit the market for $500,000.

On the cusp of retirement, an excited Karyn Peeters, 58, and husband Peter, 60, beat hundreds of others to land the keys to the town for $550,000.

In an exclusive interview with News Queensland, the Peeters expected to spend around $2 million over two years to create a retro tourism mecca that their friends, family and six grandchildren could be proud of - but which could also be shared to "save the bush".
